"If you handed Leon Panetta a blank map of
Asia, I'd bet my life he couldn't plot Baghdad,
Kabul or Beijing within 500 miles of
their actual locations. (Maybe he can see China from
his California think tank?) This shameless
hack appointment is the first action by Obama
that seriously worries me. Get intelligence
wrong and you get dead Americans."
-- Ralph Peters, (R-Whore) LTC, USA-Ret Link
That's laughable, trying to pretend Clinton's Chief of Staff is
as stupid as Sarah Palin.
I doubt Der Fuhrer Monkey is as stupid as Sarah Palin.
BTW, *I* could find those 3 cities on a blank world map
so I have faith that Panetta is at least as smart as I am.

Obama’s Cheney Dilemma
Excerpt:
Dick Cheney has been widely portrayed as a creature
of the dark side, a monstrous figure who trampled
on the Constitution to wage war against all foes,
real and imagined. Barack Obama was elected partly to
cleanse the temple of the Bush-Cheney stain,
and in his campaign speeches he promised to reverse
Cheney's efforts to seize power for the White
House in the war on terror...
Obama will discover, if he hasn't already, that
presidents live in a gray area. They have great powers,
but they have to be careful about how and when
they use them. There is an executive order banning
the president from assassinating political leaders
abroad. But because it's an executive order - not a
congressionally passed law - the president can
change it. Indeed, Clinton approved plans and efforts
to kill Osama bin Laden at his terror training
camp in Afghanistan before 9/11.
Really?
The whore American press broadcasts that Clinton was offered bin Laden
and refused.
How did a sliver of truth make it into the mainstream whore media?
I think Obama will take whatever action against terrorists he feels
is necessary, including dirt naps.
The difference is he won't be masturbating to the snuff films again
and again.
What I would like to see Obama do is abuse his authority like Bush &
Dracula did, but he won't.
In a fair world (why bother?) he would give the GOP sons of bitches
eight years of spying and
reading their mail and listening to their phone calls etc. to demonstrate
why that's a bad thing.
If I was president I'd run that down their throats as long as I could
but I'd sign a law up-front
that says the abuse stops the day Obama leaves the White House.
I wish Obama had more of a mean streak.
I wish he had more of a temper, I wish he was more petty - but he's
not.

Bush - a Great President
Excerpt:
I have put together my own list of talking points,
which should convince anyone why Bush
belongs on Mount Rushmore, along with Washington,
Lincoln, Jefferson and the other guy.
After Katrina, President Bush kept our cities
safe. In the three years and a half years since
Katrina not a single American city has been destroyed
or partially destroyed.
After Iraq and Afghanistan took a turn for the worse, Bush kept us from losing any wars.
After the recent stock market crash there have been no further crashes.
After the District Attorney firing scandal, the
outing of Valerie Plame and other scandals,
President Bush restored integrity to government.

I'm going to say it again - we have no right to ask Obama to spend
his presidency going after the Bush bastards.
Nobody wants them held accountable more than me, but that job
belonged to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
and Mr Rubber Stamp himself, Patrick Leahy, who showed what a
coward he was by "responding like a
gentleman" when Cheney told him "Go fuck yourself."
When Leahy backed down from that, he was telling Cheney that congress
was his bitch
and he could do whatever he wanted, he could break any crimes
he wanted, etc.
If Pelosi, Reid and Leahy want to go after the Bush bastards now
- fine - but it's years too late.
Pelosi, Reid and Leahy rewote the constitution to say the president
and the VP are above the law.
If the Democrats weren't such cowards they'd make Pelosi, Reid
and Leahy pay a price
for closing their eyes while the Bush bastards raped the world.

Obama Scaling Back Promises
Excerpt:
Obama said reviving the U.S. economy will require
scaling back on his campaign promises
and personal sacrifice from all Americans.
“I want to be realistic here, not everything that
we talked about during the campaign are we going to
be able to do on the pace we had hoped,” Obama
said on ABC’s “This Whore” with Judas Maximus.
“Everybody’s going to have to give.”
I'm sure the hard Left will rape him over the
coals for that - but it's a different world now.
The Left will say "He's
just like the others," but I'm going to
give him a break because
the Bush bastards stole an extra five trillion
in October and now we're ten trillion dollars in debt.
Obama also said in the interview recorded yesterday
that he wants stricter guidelines and
greater transparency in spending the remaining
$350 billion in the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
I have a question:
The Bush bastards say they can't account for the missing billions from
TARP, but isn't that
an admission that they've not been able to track the terrorist's money
all these years?
Doesn't that remove the excuse for why they're spying on us?
If they can't track money from the US Treasury, how can they make us
believe
they can track money from the Saudis to al Qaeda?

Mere Presidents
by Piggy Noonan
Excerpt:
This week we saw the past four presidents standing
in the Oval Office for a photo-op.
As you looked at the pictures afterward you had
to think: How flawed were they? How many were a success?
Look at Piggy Noonan - pretending all presidents fuck up like Der Fuhrer.
Did you notice how they all leaned away from Jimmy
Carter, the official Cootieman of former presidents?
It was like high-school students to the new girl:
"You can't sit here, we're the Most Popular table."
Carter is seen as a loser because the Democrats piss on their
heroes.
Carter inherited an economic mess from Nixon-Ford, but they talk about
it like it was his doing.
The inflation mess continued until Reagan crashed the economy in 1982.
Carter's other problem was that he valued the lives of those hostages in Iran.
The Bush bastards contacted the terrorists and promised them Stinger
missles if they would
keep the hostages until after the 1980 election. Meanwhile, Reagan's
two faces were promising
that we wouldn't have to put up with hostage-taking because he'd go
all "John Wayne" on them.
But after promising to stand up to the terrorists, Reagan rewarded them
again and again,
but history doesn't tell that story because the Democrats are
afraid to list the goddamn facts.
When Reagan died, Democrats lined up around the block to talk about
what a great man he was.
If he was so great, why do they have to hide his presidential papers
behind locked doors?
...and how did I get stuck in a party of cowardly losers?

If you haven't heard, Obama is in the next
issue of Spiderman comics - out Wednesday.
Backstabbing Democrats
Excerpt:
The hard sell that Obama put on last week went
beyond the normal political smooth-talking that
presidents use to promote their legislative agenda,
and crossed over into something a bit more urgent.
But the main target of his blitz isn't voters
or Republicans. The problem is backstabbing Democrats,
who with their expanded majorities were supposed
to make it easy for Obama's agenda to cruise through
Congress, started objecting to the stimulus plan
as soon as details leaked into the press.
The objections were pretty basic: Obama wanted
to spend too much on tax cuts, and not enough
on infrastructure. They were mildly phrased,
but there was no question that Obama and his aides would
have some work to do to push the stimulus plan
into law. (They already had to scrap their hope of having
the bill ready for Obama to sign on Jan. 20,
which turned out to be impossible, and are now aiming for
mid-February, before the first recess of the
year.
The tax cuts got the GOP on board, but leave it to the Democrats to fuck this up.
Obama came forth with a plan to run for president and he succeeded,
but now that
he's there, every punk Democrat in Congress thinks they
should make the decisions.
Every Democrat who stands in the way should be put in front of a live
camera crew
to answer the question, "If you know better,
why didn't you run for president
so the voters could judge the validity of
your
ideas against Obama's?"

Subject: WMDs
Having or not having WMDs is and was irrelevant.
Even a preemptive war demands an imminent threat.
You don't need to be an expert to know that Iraq,
even with a few nukes, was not a real threat

Don Z
Did you mean to write that?
"Iraq, even with a few nukes, was not a real threat to the USA."
IF
Iraq had a "few nukes" all they've have to master is that
difficult "boat technology" and they could wipe out New York,
Baltimore, Miami, Boston, Washington DC and Philadelphia.
In 2002, the CIA said Saddam had WMDs and flying drones.
Tony Blair said we could be hit in as little as 45 minutes.
That turned out not to be the case, but aren't we all angry with Bush
for ignoring the warning that said "Osama is determined to strike?"
But the senate was supposed to ignore the warnings they were given?
I'm not willing to re-argue that whole point.
We went over it hundreds of times when it was fresh, but if
you think
"a few nukes" is not a real threat, I'm glad you're not our
Sec of Defense.

Bush's Better
World
by one crazy Peter Brookes
Excerpt:
If you asked Americans to list Bush's foreign
policy and national security accomplishments,
you'd likely get some laughs - surely some snarky
comments. Perhaps, at best, a short list.
But, in truth, there are a number of great successes.
So as the Bush administration gets ready
to exit the national and world stage in the coming
days, it's time to give credit where credit's due.
It's not just by chance that there hasn't been
another terrorist strike here at home since 9-11.
This handjob accidentally said something intelligent
- there've been no further attacks - but why?
What Bush policies prevent al Qaeda sympathizers
from driving a gasoline truck into an American school?
They can't answer that question and our whore
press refuses to ask it.
The truth is Al Qaeda has CHOSEN
not to attack us, which makes sane people ask, "Why?"
They're willing to die to hurt Americans, yet
they've CHOSEN
not to hurt us? As far as we know,
Al Qaeda had less than 100 members on 9-11, but
by all accounts they have tens of thousands of
members now and maybe hundreds of thousands of
sympathizers - so what's holding them back?
Bush policies?
That's too stupid to even consider.
I say a deal was made - nothing else can explain
their refusal to murder more Americans.
I think Bush promised Osama that he could remain
free as long as he didn't acttack us here.
The Bush bastards have dealt with the most evil
bastards in history, from Hitler to Noriega
to Hezzbollah to Ghadafy so why would they refuse
to deal with Osama?
Since 2001, Bush has thwarted a number of plots,
including conspiracies to blow up airplanes
and fuel farms, assault an army base, and attack
LA and Chicago skyscrapers - and surely others.
Oh please - you believe that horseshit because Bush said so?
How much more discredited does a world-class murderer,
invader, kidnapper, torturer, rapist
have to be before you refuse to accept his every
word as gospel?

Subject: Did Bush accomplish anything good?
People are asking if Bush accomplished anything
good during his presidency.
The answer is - Yes!
One thing he did was that he utterly destroyed
the Republican Party.
All the myths that Republicans are fiscal conservatives
are gone.
The idea that Republicans are better for the
economy proved wrong.
Trickle down economics and tax cuts for the rich
completely discredited.
Privatizing Social Security is now a joke.
We will have to see if the price to destroy the
Republicans was worth the price
America has paid to learn the hard way. But at
least we can finally say that
Republican ideas are an utter failure and hopefully
we will never go back there again.

Land mines
ahead for Hillary
by the whores at The Politico
Excerpt:
Hillary Clinton, ever the preparation junkie,
is cramming for Tuesday’s confirmation hearing — intent on
downplaying old disagreements with Obama and
parrying questions about Bill's overseas entanglements.
Pure horseshit.
Hillary has nothing to hide and neither does
her husband.
The whore press (as always) is trying to create
drama where there is none.
Barring a bombshell revelation, all sides expect
Clinton to be speedily confirmed as secretary of state.
But her rendezvous with the Foreign Relations
Committee still offers its share of potential land mines.
Sure, in the same way a trip to the fridge contains
the "potential danger" of tripping over a cat.
America's whore press earns their slimy mantle
of shame everyday.
Nobody’s fonder of huddling secretly with a close-knit, tight-lipped clutch of advisers than Hillary.
Yeah, and every other politician wants their dirty
laundry on the evening news.
If I had the "credibility" of The Politico I'd
stick my head in the oven.
And she’s been huddling plenty in recent days,
gaming out defenses to possible attacks against
her husband while synchronizing her policy positions
with Obama to avoid embarrassing public
disagreements on Iraq, Iran and Israel.
Horseshit - absolutely pure.
No two people on the planet have the exact same politics, not even
Barack and Michelle.
But the whores at The Politico have nothing else to write about, so
they lazily fall back
into cheap shots at the Clintons because a big segment of America lives
for that shit.

Dems boost wilderness protection
Excerpt:
In a rare Sunday session, the Senate advanced
legislation that would set aside more than
2 million acres in nine states as wilderness.
Majority Democrats assembled more than enough
votes to overcome GOP stalling tactics in an
early showdown for the new Congress.
Republicans complained that Democrats did not
allow amendments on the massive bill,
which calls for the largest expansion of wilderness
protection in 25 years. But Harry Reid, (D-Wimp),
and other Democrats said the bill — a holdover
from last year — was carefully written
and included measures sponsored by both Republicans
and Democrats.

Bush killed
2.6M jobs just in 2008
Tax cuts for the super-rich caused this
Excerpt:
Bush killed 524,000 jobs in December, reflecting
a pervasive fear among employers that
if they fail to shed workers quickly they may
go under in the worst recession since the 1930s.
Unemployment jumped to a 16-year-high (GHW Bush)
of 7.2 percent. The growing army of
the unemployed, at 11.1 million, is nearly 50
percent bigger than at the start of the recession a year ago.
The total number of jobs lost in the recession
now totals 2.59 million.
Remember when Clinton created 24 million jobs?
That's the difference between Democrats and Republicans.
That's what happens when you help the middle class and not the super-rich.
If only we could get a Democrat to list the goddamn facts - but
nooooooo.
The GOP stands for economic ruin but the Democrats refuse to mention
it.

How my good friend Les Paul changed music forever
Excerpt:
He had a breakthrough when he tried the most
dense piece of material he could find, a piece of railtrack,
attaching it to a guitar string and a telephone
receiver wired up to a radio. "It sounded great! I ran to my
Mum and shouted 'I've got the answer!' And she
replied: 'Did you ever see a cowboy on a horse playing
a railroad track?' So that put that idea right
out of the window."
It took many more years of tinkering before he
made his first solid-wood guitar, in 1941; he had to wait
another 10 years before Gibson finally embraced
the idea, in 1951. "The electric guitar was laughed at!
They called me the character with the broomstick
with pick-ups on it. It was terrible. Before we came
along the guitar was an apologetic wimp - the
weakest, most unimportant guy in the band. As soon as
we put a pick-up on him, and a volume control,
he became the king."
